What if his lifetime goal was to grow up to be an atheist like his dad?

I don't believe in an "age of accountability" - God decides who to save at any age - but I'll go with your question, assuming you actually want an answer instead of being a neo-atheist troll. The answer is that it does not matter what somebody's lifetime goal is. My lifetime goal was to be an atheist, which I then changed to being a Buddhist.
But God wasn't satisfied to let me wallow in untruth. When I least expected it, He saved me. And he may decide to do the to same to that future lifetime atheist. It's so tenuous being an atheist - God threatens to break into your neat little mechanical, easy no-accountability world at any moment. I wish you the best, and hope you may learn something instead of being closed-minded.
Edit for Asker: The answers I read here on Y!A are so ridiculously poor, it astounds me. But it shouldn't: you're living a lie, so why shouldn't your reason be muddled? The answer to your idiotic question is that if that were the case, why would God bother doing anything? Why would He create the universe, since people were just going to mess it up? As for you, why bother taking a shower: you're just going to get dirty again!
Did it ever occur to you that, although God loves you and wants you to come to repentance and be saved from your own sins, that He has bigger things to do than order the universe so that it makes sense to YOUR muddled mind?

When David's first child by Bathsheba died he said:
----
(2 Samueal 12)
22 ..."While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, 'Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let the child live.' 23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me."
---
So God revealed here that David will be reunited with his child in the next life
Your lifetime goal thing is just a feeble attempt at manufacturing a contradiction.

An infant would go straight to heaven since he is still pure from sins. I'm not sure if his lifetime goal was to grow up to be an atheist like his dad he would.

In the Bible in the epistle to the Corinthians Paul said the blood of the parents sanctifies the child.
If neither parent is a Christian I would say the child is lost, because the ungodly are like a chaff the wind drives away.

A spirit has more then one life, however, you only have until the year 2800 to get it right.
The 10th king shall fall to Gog and Magog, the 10th King is the next President of the United Stated.

well, since only his dad would have made him be that way, I guess he would still go to Heaven.
just playin' - I believe we all lead different lifestyles - no one should be a judge....it's ultimately how we've treated others in this life that counts - not all the dogmatic b.s.......some treat complete stangers better than their own family......it's a shame....I mean, really - when it comes down to it - without family or people to care about -what is left? materials? materials don't follow anyone to heaven or the grave for that matter....(sorry to go on like this - don't feel like asking questions or putting my statements up in front of everyone) trying to earn points here....

depends on the religion. some believe the baby goes to heaven, but some believed unbaptized babies don't go to heaven. that's why more religions baptize in infancy than at an older age.

Yes he would go to heaven. He hasn't had a chance to commit any sins. it doesn't matter about his dad! God gave us "Free Will" to make our own choices. Since he (the baby) never got the chance to grow and decide for himself, that makes him completely free of sin so he'll go to Heaven! Hope this helps!!

Yes indeed.
He didn't have a lifetime goal.
Actually after a while you do become taxing.
I think that like the old testament a little whacking would be in order.
Nothing like a whack to get your attention.

Yes, the baby would go to heaven to be with the one and only God and his Son Jesus because that baby is still innocent and has not sinned. Second of all, babies don't have goals.
